B Don Quixote · Pompey · Cyrus Current meta 78.26/100 out of 100Don Quixote (X22), Pompey (X16) and Cyrus (SP · paid) score 78.26 out of 100 together, and each of the three has a job.
Don Quixote is the win condition, bringing 66% of the lineup's expected damage: Parry puts 530% into 3 enemy squads on a 65% roll, and takes the front on purpose: this kit feeds on being attacked, and the front is where the attacks are. Pompey is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 132% of damage reduction across its kit, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Cyrus is the multiplier, raising what the other two put out rather than adding a number of its own: carries 54% of damage amplification across its kit, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Cyrus’s Tolerance produces trigger-rate boosts, the exact trigger Don Quixote and Pompey both wait on; Don Quixote produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Pompey’s Pirate Destroyer waits on; Pompey produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Cyrus’s Strategy to Victory waits on. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 30% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad. How these scores work →

Pompey is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 132% of damage reduction across its kit, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-4 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Don Quixote produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Pompey’s Pirate Destroyer waits on; Pompey produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Thorven’s Spiral Edge waits on; Thorven’s Spiral Edge applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight, so Don Quixote swings into a line that cannot answer. What you give up: raw damage reaches only about 25% of the hardest-hitting trio in the roster; damage is spread across the enemy line rather than focused on one squad.

The lineup works because Thorven produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Pompey’s Pirate Destroyer waits on; Pompey produces combat-skill casts, the exact trigger Thorven’s Spiral Edge waits on; Thorven’s Spiral Edge applies Taunt and takes a squad out of the fight, so Sundiata swings into a line that cannot answer.

Pompey is the shield: the damage reduction and staying power buy the rounds the plan needs — carries 132% of damage reduction across its kit, and takes the front, able to both absorb the opening rounds and heal through them. Sundiata brings a second damage line worth 25% of the expected output, so no single silence stops the plan: Flame of Revenge puts 537% into one enemy squad on a 40% roll, and sits in the middle, where the support reaches both the front and the back. Oliver is the win condition, bringing 65% of the lineup's expected damage: Strike of Light puts 725% into 3 enemy squads every time it fires, and stays in the back, out of the enemy's easy reach, and those range-5 skills lose nothing for it. The lineup works because Sundiata produces follow-up attacks, the exact trigger Pompey’s Pirate Destroyer waits on; Pompey raises Oliver’s output directly rather than adding a number of its own. What you give up: the trigger chain is thin — the three lean on one link rather than several; little here disrupts the enemy plan, so the fight is decided on raw output.
